Yul Brynner renounces US Citizenship!

Yul Brynner, of the nude head clan of actors, renounced his US Citizenship after a tax dispute with the IRS! ... 50 years ago.

So why is the Russian born actor newsworthy today?

Why his case highlights the huge number of people giving up their US citizenship.

Isn't it batshit crazy to report an event that happened 50 years ago as a reason for leaving the US today?

Not to Bloomberg's.

Does it matter that Brynner had lost his tax exemption as an American resident abroad? Ops! I guess not to Bloomberg. Brynner claimed to be an American living abroad for tax purposes while ... working in America.

I guess he jumped over the border with Siam every night before going to bed.

So how many people give up their US Citizenship per year? About 3,000. Most of them living overseas. Many of them born overseas.

None of them named Rush Limbaugh seeking political or other asylum in a non-treaty country without public healthcare, socialism, or Muslim President born in Kenya.

$9.5 Billion in revenue for a tax exempt non-profit organization called the NFL

It's kick off time.

The Falcons want taxpayers to buy them a new stadium. Why not we bought the current one.

I think the National Football League should buy the stadium. With $9.5 billion in revenue last year and a tax exempt non-profit status, I know they have the cash.

Details on how the Waffle House waitress supports NFL owners with her tip income.

From MSN.

Yeah, the article doesn't mention my favorite waitress. Do I need to draw you a line from her pocket to Arthur Blank's?

I didn't think so.

There's a gun to my head! IRS agents have machine guns and are forcing me to pay taxes!

Back to this little irrational theme.

Let's say I stop making my mortgage payments. I'll go through the same hoops as not paying my taxes.

The bank sends me a few messages. If I don't reply, I start getting some personal attention. If I still don't reply, I get a default notice. If I still don't reply and don't pay. I get a notice that my home is going to be seized and sold to the highest bidder. Which will be the bank holding my mortgage 90% of the time.

My house gets sold. I get an eviction notice. If I continue to squat in the house, I get evicted by the new owner.

Maybe a law enforcement officer wearing a gun and driving a car with a trunk full of guns helps keep the peace during the eviction.

If I resist, I don't usually get shot. But, if I get violent, I could get dead.

That doesn't mean the bank is holding a gun to my head forcing me to pay my mortgage on time.

So the wackos who think the IRS has a gun to their heads will say, "I don't have a choice in government. I do have choices in the market place."

No. You can't change to a bank that doesn't expect you to pay.

This whole thing about a deadly threat forces tax payment is bullshit.

When the IRS starts executing delinquent tax payers on the street, I'll change my mind.
